Transitional Trim Edge

ABSTRACT

A table frame to add decorative features to a table a include a top surface of the table frame, a first opposed frame bottom surface opposed to the top surface, and a first outer side frame surface to connect the top surface to the bottom surface. The top surface may overlap the table.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to furniture and more particularly to atrim device for a table.

BACKGROUND

Tables find various uses in today's society. The standard table may havefour legs which support a table top. The tables may be formed fromplastic, wood, metal or other types of material. Once these tables havebeen constructed, the design/look of these tables remain unchanged.However, this does not eliminate the need for the consumers to have atable having a look which may be changed depending on the needs of theconsumer.

SUMMARY

A table frame to add decorative features to a table a include a topsurface of the table frame, a first opposed frame bottom surface opposedto the top surface, and a first outer side frame surface to connect thetop surface to the bottom surface. The top surface may overlap thetable.

The frame table may include a second opposed bottom surface.

The frame table may include an inner side rain surface.

The frame table may include a pad device to protect the frame table.

The pad device may include a strip of felt.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 illustrates an exploded perspective view of the transitional trimedge/table frame 100 and table 200 of the present invention. The table200 may include a table top 204 to cooperate with the table frame 100and which may be supported by table legs 202. The table frame 100 may berectangular, oval, circular or any other suitable shape and may beremovable/replaceable with the table 200. The table frame 100 may have asubstantial L shape cross section or other appropriate cross-section andthe table frame 100 may have a central aperture 102 which may cooperatewith a sheet of glass (not shown) which may be a mirror. The table frame100 may include a top frame surface 104 which may extend around theperiphery of the table frame 100 and may or may not include a design,and the top frame surface 104 may be connected to a outer side framesurface 106 which may extend around the periphery of the table frame 100may overlap with the table top 204. The outer side frame surface 106 mayinclude channels 108 which may be an inverted U-shape. An opposed framebottom surface 110 may be connected to the outer side frame surface 108and may be connected to an inner side frame surface 112. The opposedframe bottom surface 110 may extend around the periphery of the tableframe 100. The first outer side frame surface 106 and the inner sideframe surface 108 may be connected to a second bottom surface 116. Aflexible pad may be placed around the inner side frame surface 108 andor the bottom surface 110 to protect the table top 204 and the flexiblepad may be felt or other suitable material. The present invention mayallow for the table to include many different styles and design patternsfor various shapes of table 200.

FIG. 2 illustrates an perspective view of a portion of the transitionaltrim edge/table frame 100 and table 200 (shown in FIG. 1) of the presentinvention. The table frame 100 may be rectangular, oval, circular or anyother suitable shape to conform to the shape of the table 200 and may beremovable/replaceable with the table 200. The table frame 100 may have asubstantial L shape cross section or other appropriate cross-section andthe table frame 100 as shown in FIG. 1 may have a central aperture 102which may cooperate with a sheet of glass (not shown) which may be amirror. The table frame 100 may include a top frame surface 104 whichmay extend around the periphery of the table frame 100 and may or maynot include a design, and the top frame surface 104 may be connected toan outer side frame surface 106 which may extend around the periphery ofthe table frame 100 may overlap with the table top 204. The outer sideframe surface 106 may include channels 108 as shown in FIG. 1 which maybe an inverted U-shape. An opposed frame bottom surface 110 may beconnected to the outer side frame surface 108 and may be connected to aninner side frame surface 112. The opposed frame bottom surface 110 mayextend around the periphery of the table frame 100. The first outer sideframe surface 106 and the inner side frame surface 108 may be connectedto a second bottom surface 116. A flexible pad 115 may be placed aroundthe inner side frame surface 108 and or the bottom surface 110 toprotect the table top 204 and the flexible pad 115 may be felt or othersuitable material. The present invention may allow for the table toinclude many different styles and design patterns for various shapes oftable 200.

FIG. 3 illustrates a bottom view of the transitional trim edge/tableframe 100 and illustrates the first opposed bottom surface 110, thesecond opposed bottom surface 116, the outer side frame surface 106, theinner side frame surface 108, and the central aperture 102.

FIG. 4 illustrates a top view of the transitional trim edge/table frame100 and illustrates the top surface 104, the outer side frame surface106, the inner side frame surface 108, and the central aperture 102.

FIG. 6 illustrates the top surface 104 and the outer side frame surface106.

FIG. 5 illustrates the top surface 104 and the inner side frame surface112.

FIGS. 7 and 8 shows different design applications to the table frame 100of the present invention.
